SOC 3544 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Hoople Ltd is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Title 'Business Intelligence Officer' matches index entry for 2431). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
